ay te watcho

What does ay te watcho mean?

See you later. A textbook Spanglish move: take the English 'watch', graft it onto Spanish conjugation, end up with a goodbye that's neither language and both at once. Pure Caló craft.

"Gotta bounce — ay te watcho, carnal."

Origin

Caló / Spanglish — Spanish 'ahí te' fused with the anglicised verb 'watchar' (to watch / see). Pure pachuco invention: an English verb conjugated into Spanish grammar.
